TESTIMONIALS

"When I first took the decision to embark on a therapeutic journey I had no idea where this would take me. I found you through an online directory and over the last year or so I have never looked back. Recently playing a game with some conversation cards I had the question 'What is the one belief or behaviour that has positively impacted your life in the last 12 months' and I can answer with certainty that the kindness and compassion I have experienced in your therapy room has been life changing.

The way you have gently handled my emotions and feelings during the last 12 months has helped me to heal, process and learn. The empathy I experience from you during our sessions makes me feel seen and heard, but more importantly, safe. Your warm and caring nature has helped me share things that I have never felt able to share previously. I am grateful for the space you give me both physically and emotionally, and for also always accommodating me. Thank you."

"The support I receive from Graham as my supervisor has been life-changing. Graham has helped me, both professionally and personally, to become a better counsellor and to transform my life.

I have an increased self-awareness and self-confidence in my abilities as a counsellor/psychotherapist.

Graham's warmth, tenderness, presence and deep empathy, means that I always feel safe in our sessions, and I feel understood. I feel held emotionally and I am able to fully trust Graham - which means that I feel free to share anything. This in turn means that I am more fully available emotionally for my clients and I have a deeper understanding of my own process.

It is hard to put into words but I am incredibly grateful to Graham for all of his support"

"I came to Graham after struggling to process emotions linked to difficult life circumstance, both in the present, and from childhood.

I found myself becoming increasingly overwhelmed in the present and with emotions from my past.

Going to see Graham I developed the courage to share my story and explore how I was feeling. All within a safe space and at a pace that was comfortable. They listened without judgement and understood how I was feeling, supporting me in experiencing emotions as they arose.

Over time I developed greater self-compassion, and self-acceptance and a newfound sense of optimism that I was good enough and strong enough to navigate through life as the person that I am.

It's been a life affirming journey that I can say I shared with the support of Graham."

"I sought out Graham a few years ago when I was searching for a high quality Person Centred supervisor to help ground my practice as a new graduate. I had some expectations and felt I knew what I was looking for early in my career - I can comfortably say Graham exceeded these.

Our work together has felt neither condescending nor instructive. Instead, they challenge me, facilitate my ability to challenge myself, and offer plenty of warmth.

I appreciate that Graham is well read and they regularly offer insightful material to read/watch based on our discussions. This, with their way of being in sessions and willingness to adapt to me, is what leads me to actively choose them as my supervisor."

"Graham and I have been working together for just over a year, and they have been brilliant to be with. I really look forward to my monthly supervision sessions. I always arrive with so much to explore, but regardless of the tangle of ideas and feelings I bring, I leave supervision feeling deeply understood, and untangled.

I've noticed how all kinds of boundaries and barriers have been carefully approached and explored during sessions enabling me to illuminate and connect facets of my experience that may have been neglected or exiled. This welcoming in and connection to and with all parts of me, has led to me feeling more fully present.

I enjoy the blend of feeling deeply relationally connected and safe, while simultaneously being able to engage on a theoretical level with ideas about various aspects of therapy, literature and human experience. Our supervision sessions re-energise me, sending me away full of vital enthusiasm for my month ahead. Thank you :)"

"I have had a supervisory relationship with Graham for nearly a year now whilst I am completing my counsellor training and have found the supervisory sessions invaluable for developing my practice as someone starting out in the profession. Graham works very collaboratively and has helped me develop my confidence in my own practice.

A space has developed in which I am able to bring my whole self and where I feel understood and accepted without judgement.

Graham’s mix of encouragement in developing my practice combined with gentle challenge works well for me. I find Graham pays close attention to my process and my responses to my clients which consequently has expanded my own awareness of my practice, which has greatly benefited my therapeutic relationships with clients."
